I installed this counter top drop in propane stove about 5.5 years ago. We love it. it works well. Dometic bought out SMEV awhile back.
Today we did our annual big clean.
I have noticed that the rubber grate grommets have hardened from heat.
One is broken and no longer snaps back into the base.
I don't dare try to remove the remaining grommets but I'd like to thoroughly scrub the stove including under the grommet.
I'd like to replace them, maybe even keep an extra set around. Here's a source that I found for a set of eight grommets -
Panther RV Dometic Part
I am disinclined to pay $60 for eight small rubber grommets. Has anyone discovered a reasonable replacement part for these stoves?
Another small beef I have is that the screws that hold the burners together should be stainless steel and not rust. This area is always prone to spills.
I'd expect maybe the grates would be stainless steel also.
